I think tariffs are generally applied based on date of customs arrival, not time of order - discussion on wine imports who order months+ in advance as well as some small businesses getting hit unexpectedly on long-ordered goods, plus my own industry that has a several month lead time on orders and some bills we have received. I’m less familiar with that mechanic but I don’t know that placing the order before that time will help you if it has to ship from overseas.
I meant to reply to you earlier and accidentally replied to the whole thread - I agree with the sentiment below. Honestly, using AI as a coding partner when learning is actually a pretty great use for it, if you’re reviewing it properly, testing, and know its limits. This initiative is much more focused on the same sorts of low quality content farms and c-suite “cost cutting” initiatives that have been making gaming suck since long before AI. If you’re the sort of developer doing game jams, focusing on learning rather than volume, and taking pride in your work the quality will show through regardless.
Hey man, I think you might’ve dropped these
Hang in there.
Hey man, don’t get discouraged. AI isn’t hated on because it doesn’t have valid uses - assistive language-based problems are a great candidate for AI help, and coding is language!
What people are rightfully concerned about is AI being used to replace skilled work - especially artists - or use in establishing facts, not help teach newbies. Someone using AI to help word their resume or provide some help when stuck programming is not the issue - a game dev laying off artists and coders to let AI do the job worse but nearly free is.
This is legitimately so wholesome from start to finish. No “orphan crushing machine” vibes - just a reminder that most people are generally decent and helpful humans.
Niche show, but Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. Holy shit that was a great show and SO well written, but I can see why it wasn’t well received on a traditional TV format - if you didn’t watch from the beginning and keep watching to the end it wouldn’t make a lick of sense. Definitely meant to be enjoyed with a serious watch of an entire series and not episodically.
I would give my left foot for a Season 3.
